[s-cars] Ownership dwindling?

[Hap Maguire]

Hey Paul

Not to worry. If you're looking for traffic, QW has a lot going on. I don't know that a lot of guys over there even know this list exists. There will always be a few diehards here regardless what happens wherever. Da Green Monstah is just about to come out of its nap with a whole lot of new and improved hardware. I don't think I'll ever sell that car. I just saw a clip on the Hennessy tuned 458 Italia. 738 hp and 532 ft/lbs  on a car that weighs 3042 which gives it a 4.12 lbs/hp ratio. In comparison Da Monstah weighs 3770 with just about 1000hp or a 3.77 ratio. I'm not trying to say my urS4 is better or faster than a Hennessey 458 but I am trying to point out one of the factors that make these cars so appealing to those of us in the know.  

Hap, wit dakine dwindling thoughts for other reasons not from Evahboost, Maguire
